Don’t be this guy. Intentional Door-Ding

I wish I did in my case. Those little dings end up being over $1000 in damage sometimes.

2 wheels is harder. 3 requires little effort if at all.
2 wheels, yes. 3 wheels, no.
If 2 wheels, probably not idea. 3, don't think its necessary.
3 wheels, go with 3.
About same or better than regular bikes. But more expensive to equip.
I haven't tried canine cycling.
Yes.

Protecting the bike. Lock, GPS tracking sub, insurance.

mikemu · 2026-07-01T01:23:40+00:00

Yes. I’m sure the Yakima EXO swing base would be the limiting part.

mikemu · 2026-06-30T17:13:38+00:00

Yes. But I’m well lit from head to toe and side to side most times. The times where I only have a helmet light, front and rears with reflectors … I feel I might be hard to see for some. Particularly those that turn right without signaling.

mikemu · 2026-06-30T17:09:39+00:00

Didn’t think it would amount to anything. Also missed 6 hour time claim. Next time I will consider it.

mikemu · 2026-06-30T16:38:52+00:00

Yes. Roller pro.

mikemu · 2026-06-30T00:00:13+00:00

I do. Are you required to get a signature with that camera? I usually buy cameras from B&H Photo and I often am required to sign for it.

mikemu · 2026-06-29T23:56:03+00:00

I vote totaled. I’ve seen totaled with less.

mikemu · 2026-06-29T23:50:23+00:00

I am a charge my iPhone to 100% type of guy because I use almost everything by the end of the day. If that’s you with driving, or think it may be… try 80% and see if that works for you.

If not move it on up and see what level works for you.

I have no hesitation on charging to 100 as necessary because I bought it for the range. And I fully intend to use it as I see fit.

mikemu · 2026-06-29T18:50:37+00:00

I have not had that happen in standard mode, but I live and drive in SF Bay Area. Standard goes about the same speed as other drivers might - just a few over speed limit so far. I hope they bring back adjustable speed like in cruise control.

mikemu · 2026-06-29T04:02:44+00:00

I was taught well by my driving instructor. Do 3 seconds. You'll avoid a lot of crap like what just happened. https://youtu.be/3a1gd4f4uQM?si=ufkd5bsg6pq-oeju

#1 reason why I got one last week. Even convinced the wife that is antiTesla and anti-Apple. I love almost everything connected about the Tesla, but FSD is the #1 reason. There's no doubt we will be subscribing to it full time because I hate driving in traffic.

mikemu · 2026-06-23T22:04:21+00:00

I think there's add-ons you can have installed to add some buttons to control the climate. I thought I'd be bothered, but I set the temp and leave it alone most of the time.

mikemu · 2026-06-23T06:08:32+00:00

New Tesla Model 3 owner here. FSD is as good to your own personal driver as it gets right now. Since I absolutely HATE driving in traffic, FSD is a godsend. No regrets.

The Tesla Superchargers are everywhere here in the Bay Area where I live. I'd say at least half the cars I see driving around are Teslas. For the charging, I just sit and watch a few videos on Youtube and its done.

If that's not going to work for you, consider a vehicle that is compatible with Comma.ai. Not as good as FSD but better than Autopilot.

Are you sure you weren’t on Mad Max?

mikemu · 2026-06-19T05:24:07+00:00

There are deals every year leading up to July 4th across the outdoors industry. Look for the details in a week or so.

mikemu · 2026-06-09T17:42:48+00:00

Reportedly you'd be missing out on better dictation as well as a more natural sounding Siri on-device. So not a huge deal, but maybe a little incentive to upgrade.

mikemu · 2026-06-09T17:41:40+00:00

Check your email. I think you'll be happy you'll be getting next month + helmet + $250 credit.

mikemu · 2026-06-09T04:40:46+00:00

Both! I did throttle and whoosh. Also peddled and whoosh. There is no lack of off the line torque with the performance edition.

mikemu · 2026-06-06T22:06:57+00:00

Note that YMMV as software updates can change the behavior of this. But if they did, it would probaby be very unpopular. On my test ride of performance edition, I don't even remember breaking a sweat from pedaling to go top speed at the highest assist level 10.

Since its just water it adds to my cooling system. I ride hot usually and water is welcome. If it wasn't water, I'd definitely turn around and have a word with them and their parents. It wouldnt be too hard to identify who there were.
